Cautious Optimist - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

I’ve spent my whole life in transient spaces

Don’t know where I’ll ever end up

Unsettled heart, there’s no end and no start

An earthworm writhing away from the light

Cautiously optimistic, I’ll make my space

Frustratingly, endlessly, always trying to save face

Deep in a hole of mysterious outcomes

No wonder I feel like I do

All it would take is just one firm grasp

So I could feel solid ground

Cautiously optimistic, I’ll make my space

Frustratingly, endlessly, always trying to save face

What if I’m not cut out to live this way?

I’ll get a desk job, keep my head down, and have nothing to say

Not your carbon copy, baby

Not your carbon copy
